SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review
the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
2. All electrical connections must be in accordance with local codes, ordinances
or National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing
electrical wiring secure the services of a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure that your installation will not allow rotating fan blades to come in
contact with any object.
4. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan
blade sets.
5. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, a 4"x1/4" metal box is required.
The box must be directly supported by building structure. The box and its support
must be able to support the moving weight of the fan. The box must not twist or
work loose. Do not use plastic boxes.
6. Installation to a concrete ceiling should be performed by a qualified electrician.
7. Before beginning, disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit
breaker.
8. After fan is completely installed, make sure that all connections are secured to
prevent fan from falling.
9. Do no insert anything into the fan blades while ceiling fan is operating.
10. Fan must be turned off and stopped before reversing fan direction.
11. The fan must be mounted with the blades at least 2.3m from the floor to minimum
the possibility of accidental contact with the fan blades.
12. The supply wires Live & Neutral must be connected to wall switch (double poles)
having a contact separation at least 3mm in all poles.
NOTE : The import safeguards and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that
common sense. Caution and carefulness are factors which cannot be built into any
product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) caring for and operating the
unit.
WARNING
WARNING
The box must be supported directly by
the building structure. The box and its
support must be able support the fan
weight - must not twist or work loose.
Do not use plastic boxes.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
do not bend the blades when installing
the blades, balancing the blades or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign
objects between rotating fan blades.
Warning : To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury, mount
to outlet box marked acceptable for fan
support.

Putting your fan together
1. Pass the three motor leads through the
opening in the canopy and coupling
cover of fan.
2. Remove the two set screws from the
motor coupling. Remove the hairpin
clip & washer from the clevis pin and
remove clevis pin from downrod.
3. Insert the downrod through the center
opening in the canopy and route the
motor leads through the hanger ball/
downrod assembly. Align the clevis
pin holes in the downrod with the holes
in the motor coupling. The clevis pin
must pass through the holes in the motor
coupling and the downrod. Place the
washer onto the clevis pin and install
the hairpin clip making sure to push
straight leg of the hairpin clip through
the hole near hanger ball to make sure
the clevis pin is poroperly installed (see
FIG 1).
4. Reinstall the 2 set screws in the motor
coupling and securely tighten screws
against the downrod assembly.

Wiring Your Ceiling Fan
Caution : To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned off at
the main fuse box before wiring.
1. If you are not sure that the electrical
box is grounded, contact a licensed
electrician for advice. It must be
grounded for safe operation.
2. Connect the black wire from receiver to
the black wire from fan with wire nut.
Connect the white wire from receiver to
the white wire from fan with wire nut.
Connect the blue wire from receiver to
the blue wire from fan with wire nut.
Connect the green wire from outlet box
and the green wires from fan with wire
nut (see FIG 5).
3. Loosen the two canopy mounting screws
from the hanger bracket. Mount the
canopy on the two screws in the hanger
bracket and twist the canopy, so the
screw heads hold the canopy in place.
Retighten the two screws (see FIG 6).

Installing the switch housing
1. Plug in the light wires from fan and the
light wires from light fixture (see FIG.

2. Plug the halogen bulb into the sockets.
Do not touch the glass bulb with your
fingers. It is extremely important that
the glass be clean. If it is touched, or
dirty, clean carefully with a tissue. A
dirty glass bulb will cause the bulb to

3. Position the indentations in the outer
rim of the glass shade so that they line
up with the tabs on the inside surface
of the fan light fixture rim. Carefully
lift the glass shade up inside the light
fixture as far as it will go. Rotate the
shade in a clockwise direction until it
is held tightly in place by the three tabs

REVERSE
SWITCH
Operation in Summer
In warm weather, the reverse switch
should be set to produce a downward flow
of air. The constant, gentle breeze will
transfer heat from your body; thus, you
will feel cooler even if the temperature
remains unchanged. This cooling effect
is referred to as a wind-chill factor. In an
air-conditioned home, the wind-chill factor
will allow you to set the thermostat higher
than the usual setting. While using less
energy to air-condition your home, you
will stay just as cool.
For summer cooling, set the speed control
on medium or fast speed. This will
provide sufficient airflow to accomplish a
cooling effect. The exception to this is in
bedrooms where a brisk, downward flow
would be too chilly. A low-speed, gentle
breeze is all that is necessary to keep you
comfortable at night.
Operating in Winter
Winter comfort requires a different
approach. Because warm air rises the
air close to the ceiling is always warmerby perhaps 15¢XF-than the air close to
the floor. To prevent heat from hovering
where it does little good, move the reverse
switch to create an upward airflow. This
will pull cool air up and force warm air
across the ceiling and down the walls. Set
the variable speed control fast enough to
break up the air stratification, but slow
enough not to create a draft. By keeping
the heat circulating, the heater will not
have to operate as often to keep you warm.
